Lucy Thatcher

Lucy Thatcher is a Children’s and YA author from the UK.

From the moment she could pick up a pen, Lucy devoted herself to bringing people together through heartful tales. To this day, Lucy still finds home-stapled picture books she created when she was around 4/5 years old (Even she can’t read all the writing!).

This love for writing only grew as she gained more opportunities to create stories in English classes, where teachers often commented on her imagination and increasingly tiny handwriting….

However, the longer and more competitive school became, Lucy’s time was limited to studying hard and pursuing more academic and ‘sensible’ interests.

Lucy went on to study at University of Plymouth, whilst working part time.

For her second year, Lucy made the exciting yet terrifying decision to study abroad in the USA. Later, she transferred to complete her studies in the US full-time, where she graduated Summa Cum Laude from Plymouth State University.

Now home, she has cast her fears aside to become the author she always dreamt of being. Supporting herself by working full-time, Lucy writes in every spare minute she has – often juggling multiple projects and creative ideas. From picture books to young adult novels, Lucy loves writing stories for all ages!

Growing up in Cornwall, when Lucy wasn’t reading, she spent her time at the beach, horse riding and running around the countryside she adores. Some of her favourite things include animals, food, travel, movies and volunteering. Having worked on hurricane relief abroad, fundraising and the Angel Tree Project, Lucy is always looking for ways she can spread love across the world.

In terms of reading, Lucy loves finding books by lesser known authors on amazon and getting lost in their amazing stories.

Fun fact – Lucy has been inadvertently struck by lightning.
